Playa Barca - Perfect sun-drenched beach holidays in Fuerteventura
The resort of Playa Barca benefits from its prime position on a 30 km sweep of golden shoreline in the southern region of Fuerteventura. It’s considered one of the most unspoilt spots of the Canary Islands.

Playa Barca is ideally located for families and couples seeking sun, golden sands and Sangria, enhanced by a beautiful backdrop of spectacular scenery. Local hotels and apartments offer excellent accommodation at Playa Barca, while restaurants are plentiful and there are several neighbouring towns and beauty spots worth visiting while on your holidays.
There is ample evening entertainment, mostly provided by the hotels, and if you enjoy dancing, let you hair down here, or in neighbouring towns Jandia (10 km away) or Costa Calma (4 km away).
Windsurfing enthusiasts will enjoy holidays at Playa Barca where warm Saharan winds, and clear blue waters provide the best conditions for learning, improving or really stretching your windsurfing skills.
